São Tomé and Príncipe is an island country in west-central Africa, consisting of the islands of São Tomé and Príncipe and the surrounding islets, with the capital, São Tomé, located in the northeastern part of São Tomé. Located on the Gulf of Guinea, about 200 kilometers from the African continent, the country was colonized by Portugal in the 15th century and became independent in 1975, with Portuguese as the official language and an economy based on agriculture (cocoa, palm oil) and tourism. It should be noted that "Java" is not a city or region of the country; Java is the main island of Indonesia, with cities such as Jakarta and Surabaya, and has nothing to do with São Tomé and Príncipe, possibly due to a confusion of names.
Gaoyang County is located in the southeast of Baoding City, Hebei Province, China, on the North China Plain, with a total area of about 472 square kilometers and a population of about 340,000 people. As a county with a long history, Gaoyang has a history of more than 2,000 years since it was established in the Han Dynasty. It is a famous "textile township", famous for towels, woolen threads and other textile production across the country, with a complete industrial chain and products exported overseas.
Gao Yang has convenient transportation, adjacent to Xiong'an New Area, Beijing-Kowloon Railway, Baocang Expressway and other trunk lines running through the whole territory. The area has large markets such as the Gaoyang Textile Trade City and focuses on cultural tourism development, preserving monuments such as the Zhuanxu Temple of the Ming Dynasty. The economy is dominated by the textile industry, taking into account agriculture and manufacturing, and has actively promoted industrial upgrading and e-commerce integration in recent years, making it one of the important light industrial bases in northern China.
